Good. Do that! Do you already have specific ideas?

Yeah, that would be very nice! I don't even know of improvements in KDE. Could 
you give us some more details once you know more? A better and consistent DND 
system in BibleTime would certainly be a good idea.

Nope, not yet. You're welcome to work on it.
What you see in the task there is just an unreflected proposal. Use it as a 
working basis, drop it, change it -- whatever seems good to you. I just 
thought some centran instance in BT might make it easier.

Alright! I'll reoder them and assign only the search and dnd stuff to ya. 
Thanks for volunteering! Please keep us posted on your progress.
